Just as tho large paper which changer the sex of the newly born babies last week, we made a mist¬ ake too [infact several]. This was in the J. H. Patterson ad. The aA read Bevel Siding — 60c lin. ft and Framing Lumber 2x4 each 16c. The maniger-stated that he could have sold a lot of 2x4's at 16c but not too much Bevel Siding at 60c. We therefore correct thic mifltake. The 2x4's should have been 60c each and the Bevel Sidhig 16c per lin. ft. Both J. H. Patterson Co. and this News paper hope you will eome in and buy these items at the correct price.
Ancident On ChurcL^
Lois Nym|Jf, aged 14, of Elgin, receiv^ ,„ioms on the face and,
July 17, whale visiting in the Wil¬ mer Montanye, Jr. residence on North Church Street. The girl who accustomed^^ using an electric stove expen^Hed some difficulty in lighting the gas oven and the build-up of gas exploded when the match ignited it.
The young girl phoned the tele¬ phone operator in an effort to get word to her mother at her place of work, and then hung up without giving her Huntley location. The operator was unable to contact the mother who had already left from working, so the supervisor, Mrs. Basco, spent nearly half an hour calling neighboi-s in the Elgin fami¬ ly's residence area in an effort to find out where the girl was visit¬ ing.
